OT. I've been buying industrial gas supplier [t]APD[/t].

I like its possibilities as a hydrogen fuel supplier:

And for solar power involvement:

Right now, APD's business is hurting. They've lowered guidance, taking restructuring charges for layoffs, etc. The sector (industrial gases) is hurting. S&P rates APD as a sell.

OTOH, with APD's 26 year history of dividend increases, its current yield is about 3.9%. If dividend holds, I figure in a couple-three years business will improve and I might be able to see stock improvement if I can tuck away shares for a while.
